Three Deep Breaths

Three Deep Breaths provides a simple technique that you can use, no matter how busy you are, to transform tough situations into positive, energizing experiences. It is a mind/body technique that combines the ”cognitive-restructuring” capability of the brain (the ability to change our attitudes and perceptions of the world) with the calmness and presence of an aligned, centered state of being.

Thomas Crum illustrates this radically simple technique through the story of Angus, who is struggling to break through the negative habits that lead to anger, exhaustion, and poor performance. By working with our breath, by being aware of it and using it as a focusing tool, we can open up a whole new world of possibility.

This attractive book, with a forward written by Mark Victor Hansen, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, will make a great gift for your family and friends.

In Thomas Crum’s wonderful story you may discover what you felt has been missing…. ..until now.Dr. Spencer Johnson, Author, Who Moved My Cheese and The Precious Present
